hello this is r t this is a headline update. moscow time syria's opposition is rejecting a new peace deal to merge with the government because it doesn't bar president sound from france if. the capital's becoming increasingly in the firing line with reports that syrian attack helicopters have struck a suburb where troops stormed a rebel stronghold. dark days ahead for britain's internet freedom as ministers mull over installing black boxes now which would stall people's private chats and messages say it's necessary though to catch criminals. too intrusive.

and the us makes first calls to prosecute the world's most famous for spying it come to have a julian assange just final talk show airing here on our t.v. and with the wiki leaks a premier seeking refuge should be ecuador an embassy in london. japan's fukushima nuclear disaster so major countries powering down there are plans but does the future the future of the fuel what is the future of the fuel get there well she discusses his russia's top nuclear official see what he thinks. they actually gave you the anchor head of the state's nuclear energy corporation welcome and thank you for joining us it's been a little over a year since to fukushima tragedy in japan during this period we have seen quite

a few countries give up on nuclear energy for example germany has already closed down eight reactors and is planning to shut them all down by two thousand and twenty two do you think this marks a fundamental shift in a global nuclear industry a chip that's up for you which is one year ago we were pessimistic expecting the number of contracts and the industry in general to reduce by half over the past year the global nuclear energy market has shrunk by as little as ten percent not more what accounts for the reduction is european dynamics germany in particular and japan suspension of its nuclear activities in the aftermath of fukushima many countries launched a new nuclear programs instead of shrinking the ones they already had this mostly relates to the developing world but for the first time in many years the countries that have issued licenses to build new nuclear facilities include the u.s. which lasted some two decades ago there was also the u.k. very conservative and cautious in terms of security they still indorsed a program to build up to twenty nuclear facilities after the fukushima disaster so

the global ten percent reduction is not dr magic also remember that some countries have old power plants and in the coming to fifteen years they will need to take them out of production to maintain the nuclear share in the energy balance by twenty thirty they will need to build some three hundred twenty to three hundred fifty reactor units experts say this is a really ambitious plan in fact we expected the markets to shrink by fifty percent last year assuming that as market leaders we would experience a thirty percent downturn but in reality our contracts have doubled the boiler college is like. the thought of it distracts it to doesn't mean that the ten percent decrease actually place into russia's hands but he just doesn't budge and you know i wouldn't put it that way i decline in market never fares well for anybody as it increases competition it is tougher requirements that have played into our hands rather than the ten percent decrease over the last year people have figured out for themselves what happened because she left and they realized that there is no irreparable defect with nuclear energy systems in april the japanese

government allowed me visit the power plant here what impressed me most was not before crippled units but rather the two undamaged ones a few journalists ever mention that fukushima has six reactor units not four but nothing happens the other two is a vital difference is that the first four units have their emergency diesel generators in the basement or they were simply flooded the generators for units five and six are located above the units or that's it therefore the principle conclusion is that there is a feasible solution however what the fukushima tragedy has taught us is that experience is extremely important and so is an opportunity to physically try out and test new technical solutions why do you think we are enjoying higher demand even though the market in general has somewhat shrunk customers have lost trust in blueprints for new projects they no longer trust promises of quality they want to make sure it works first that's does indeed play into the hands of russian industries because we are the ones who can offer the so-called post fukushima

solutions for new nuclear power plants this means that the new type of power plants that we either build in russia or offer to our customers like ruled would have endured the disaster that hit fukushima in march two thousand and eleven nothing would have happened to them even if they had to withstand the worst possible earthquake coupled with the worst possible tsunami which even if there had been no personnel at the power plant at the time the machinery itself would have ensured absolute safety. mr bush sometimes says those things can progress as he believes that technological progress can ensure that safe nuclear energy what's your reaction to environmental. activists. nuclear energy if you look at all species that are in it collect nuclear energy is perfectly environmentally friendly much more so than all other types of power generation such as thermal energy for example in fact it would be more precise to consider nuclear power alternative energy right there with wind power solar energy and hydraulic power engineering which it does not produce greenhouse gases such a period when a nuclear power plant is running normally its impact on the environment equals zero

i actually think that all this fuss about the hazards of nuclear energy was our own full up we used to withhold technical information on nuclear power plants and that when there is no reliable information that's when myths. that are in fact the japanese without relevant information in fukushima and infer states of the tragedy . and i think this was an extraordinary blunder on their part that i was trying to filter the information they were providing to the world they are still paying a price for this mistake in terms of domestic public opinion because we have done to address this issue in russia as develop something called an automatic system for radiation monitoring it stands for a network of sensors that are placed around a nuclear facility and they keep track of all the environmental parameters and transmit their readings to our company. and the i.a.e.a. we have installed the systems at every single nuclear facility in russia and two years ago we started displaying these indications on the internet in real time any

of our viewers may access the website right now and look at radiation indicators for any of russia's nuclear power plants are you up to date as well as for any date in the past and that is what is count everyone down it was there's no way of rigging this has to ship sensors are sealed and they post their readings on the internet all magically and that's it gone are the myths and the horror stories we're already developing a new generation of technology just pursuing the notion of natural safety the kind of safety that does not require additional hardware what we need for our nuclear facilities next is a safety system that will be doing its job. even if there is nobody there to push a book even if the personnel failed to take action the system should be designed so as to be safeguarded against any possible malfunction all by itself that is a task for a new generation of nuclear power plants that we're currently developing was in your mind to suggest a specific it would considering the kind of technical solutions you have just described how would you account for germany's decision to shut down all of its nuclear plants was this a decision driven by political pressure accusation over the north and if the body

it was certainly politics i respect the german government's decision because i see this as a choice made by a sovereign nation and that said we had a roundtable discussion yesterday which was attended by the turkish energy minister mr hill does he has to bring questionings he said. if you believe that your nuclear power plants are on say you should shut them down right now when you say they are unsafe which you will shut them down after twenty twenty one weeks how are you going to get by with vulnerable nuclear facilities for ten more years and if they are safe enough to last until twenty twenty why shut them down at that point we so sure it was politics going to start a fight but if you're saying that germany is to only european countries that's ready to give up enough their energy but other countries such as usually norway greece that you're also opposing if you're in it but it sure you have got to be get them started norway had decided to make a shift toward renewable energy prior to the fukushima disaster that is really a bound and nuclear energy back in the one nine hundred eighty s.

and there have been no recent developments in this regard to therefore to be realistic it is indeed germany who has given up on nuclear energy and that is of course a serious decision germany is a country that used to get thirty two percent of its electricity from nuclear plants now they've indeed decided to abandon it and that's a fight like japan has also put a freeze on most of its nuclear facilities however last week they decided to end the friends and they were about to launch their first two reactor units with that in the background thirty one countries have decided whether to go on with developing their nuclear reactor says. dims or even to build nuclear facilities for the first time what we see is strong difference he asia i eat there will be countries actively developing their nuclear energy programs like turkey which is planning to build some thirty reactor units china with seventy four units south africa has just decided to build about ten units england is planning to build up to twenty units so each country will make its own decisions after the russian oh there are several aspects first of all it's about expertise you need to have more

knowledge of nuclear energy and you need the technologies for your germany for one you can't build a nuclear power plant anymore if they decided to build one now they'd have to outsource construction to us or the french or the americans or german industries have been out of the business for nearly twenty five years and they have lost so number one is know how secondly it's about whether a country can afford developing renewable energy or shale gas germany is a rich economy they have already estimated the prospective costs of abandoning nuclear energy and they can probably afford it but we also know many governments who say we're not rich enough to finance alternative energy research but lack of access to affordable energy is a major impediment for our economic growth we need to pay wages we need to create jobs and we cannot afford investing in weird energy or solar energy for decades on end of somebody of the level of rush hour but ship that in the u.k. and the united states it's private companies that own nuclear facilities this isn't

currently the case in russia but president putin in his prayer lection manifesto said there were plans to privatise where saturn at the thought of some of you yet not ross i mean let's not forget the tone is primarily an element in this country's nuclear defense capabilities i know our policy makers outlook on this issue and i'm sure will never be privatized because some of its industries cater to russia's nuclear arsenal yet such things are not for sale i think you are there you know what is it that is going to get us there to show some projects related to the civilian part of the nuclear industry or. already open to private capital including foreign interests there are already quite a few private investors involved in your rainy and mining besides you've mentioned the united states well we're the largest owner of uranium deposits on u.s. territory what's not on loans twenty percent of america's new rainy lizards are presently mining in the state of wyoming for example this is something you probably couldn't imagine some three or four years ago today it's a reality that we own

a controlling stake in your anian one the world's largest corporate owner is miner of uranium resources forty nine percent of the company is owned by several thousand private investors which is another area where we've opened up is the construction of nuclear facilities so we have a similar situation in mechanical engineering and we don't own one hundred percent of our hardware producing companies anymore and we intend to reduce our respective states to fifty one percent and in the long term once there was perfectly free competition in the industry i think we would be able to sell all those industrial assets together but as far as knowledge and technology are concerned the government should retain a controlling stake as for nuclear defense related assets the state shall keep not just a controlling stake but one hundred percent ownership of the mill for ever there is simply no other way that if there was a stick it in ca thank you very much for this interview thank you.

midfielder andres iniesta has been named player twenty twelve by you way for he and the rest of the team headed home from kiev on monday after thrashing for italy. in sunday's final iniesta was also among ten spanish plays nineteen twenty three man squad of the tournament the spain team have now arrived back in madrid and are due to receive a hero's welcome from fans king and prime minister they are the first team ever to win three leading tones in a row with more on their achievement from ukraine his cape partridge. time right now and spain successfully defend their title here at two thousand and twelve to complete a unique travel the first ever tea to successfully defend the european crowd and also to do so while the current world champions daveed silva and jordi made it to notice play by home time and they easily had to play the last thirty minutes with ten good substitute tiago matar people that enjoy it and then an anti-terrorist and

one came off the bench lights on to wrap up the four nil scoreline. this lympics stadium here in kiev is major bumper plate. if there were ever any diets just how good the spanish side have been answered tonight as they produce a fantastic display to beat italy and win the euro two thousand and twelve championships want to be an excellent form for the tournament and winning their third major trophy in a row they've created a legacy has been probably one of the best teams to have ever played for international football that's something we're going to we're going to have in our minds forever this is something that you can only live once in a lifetime and it is without a major gesture there's. no way we've been so many years without winning here with our team with the spanish team winning everything with a little claps now is finally the charges were not to show how strong we are for the solomon started there were questions whether spain could maintain the consistency of its old one the euro two thousand

a championship sign the world cup in two thousand and ten but they quickly on supposed critics or some excellent football front but solomon terms of competition went on it just grew stronger and stronger. this performance against italy of the likes of championing yesterday once again influential producing some incredibly fluid football which is really easy on the i and really spain vera team who just play football in the right spirit and a fully deserving winners of this euro two thousand and twelve title i think we have a really good generation of young players are with they're winning all the sharpness here but you know armstrong won the ninety's and the last time we i think there's been a very very good review all of the teams are i think we have a lot of just one nothing just one really right for italy tonight tried hard but the gulf in class which is obvious to the supporters the only because as he really didn't have much of a chance to create a couple of good opportunities but unfortunately wanted able to beat the c.s. in the spain goal but nevertheless people can be very proud of their performance at

this tournament before it started no one really gave them a hope of getting to the semifinals or even a final but very upset the odds and really they can go home with their heads held high nothing seems to go awry starting from the first fifteen minutes we are lucky we are here but spain has been much much stronger than us so we cannot say anything like a graduations to spain for fully deserving winners and i can see no reason whatsoever why they can't go on to the world cup in brazil in two thousand and fourteen and look to what would be an unprecedented fourth major trophy in a row. that was richer vamp or free there so after thirty one matches over thirty days the first big football tournament in eastern europe comes to a close with a record breaking performance from the world's number one team spain are still the champions commiserations to italy after a memorable final at the olympic stadium but from all of us here in kiev it's time

pick qualification event. it was the tournament that did exactly what it says on the tin olympic qualification that's something that up till now how deluded the russian men's beach volleyball team after failing to emulate russia's women's team already qualified by winning the continental cup this really was the last chance saloon for them but the russians kept their nerve seeing of poland in the final in two rather one sided games. in the first you got of and you need to beat but bush was shocked and people come tore into straight sets partner sergei prokofiev repeated that feat against poland second duo. and. beach i hold that equalled russia's twenty run of four wins in the last going into the match at home comfort seemed to have played their part in the resoundingly victory the players however went without their worries prior to the final. i had about

three hours of sleep the previous night because off the top group we knew we would play in the final only the foil was shelled for seven thirty pm so we have to hold our emotions and keep focused but we are experienced players and know how to deal with this kind of stress. and with our eyes now firmly on london the guy's mood was understandably buoyant. we're not playing on going to the olympics to simply participate in it this year has been tough so we'll want to show ourselves to the marks and see how high we can get if we get a medal that would be amazing playing better and better together so hopefully we can reach our peak at the olympics and make our fans. by theirs in the men's other final muscled mexico to nil to clinch the other olympic tickets are up for grabs despite dropping the set against the mexicans team auster never looked like they would surrender their undefeated run in the tournament i think. we had

a really great. seems period although it's just one to get for two teams which of course can make problems but i think we did a really good job and we deserved it and with that the final two spots for the beach volleyball competition at the olympics have now been filled. and that's because well it will seem i will after all be joining the women's team people on the plane to london for something that's often been sleeping in weeds in their whole lives could have the political implications on the final here in moscow now going to be heading to london to a purpose built a good deal thousands in a stadium where from the twenty eighth of july they were also going to jump the bottle now the olympic glory the mark of the takeover got must go with me to see how they get on that is it will spoil for moments i'm back again into last talk. to go.
